Wed, 05 Dec 2012 12:36:00 +0000http://www.dezeen.com/?p=109807#comment-1047985I visited the house a month ago during my stay as an intern at Suppose. The huge entrance door is a great enhancement of the otherwise plain facade. When entering the house, everything seems a lot smaller than the pictures show. The ceiling height of the third picture above the TV for instance is only 1.6 metres. When looking up the real space created becomes clear. It seems huge. Being able to look all the way to the upper ceiling gives it an amazing amount of spaciousness. But it's really when you start walking up the stairs that you lose all coordination. The rooms keep on coming the higher up you go, one after the other. With all rooms on different levels and ladders conacting the rooms with the terrace above, it really seems like a children's playground. Some safety precautions have been taken, and the children's rooms have nets in front of the windows, etc. So don't worry about their safety. Also what Lasse says about selling isn't really an issue because an average Japanese house lasts for 28 years, just as long as a single family lives in the house. So bad for the environment, but no need for top sell.

THIS would be close to impossible to sell in northern europe - too unusual, too small, etc. BUT the different view and heights is exactly why this small and closed house seems bigger.
Enlarge all by 40 % or so, add more window, and glass balustrades and this would be very nice in any urban area here as well!!
And would definately stand out!

The only point I want to stress is that these rooms they created are so tiny! It looks so good with a wide-angle lens in fron of your camera, but in real life it's really small, and it must have been really difficult not to use al the square metres they had available... nothing comes for free.
